I'd add Brink to that list. That and Dead Island are the biggest letdowns of the generation so far for me.

StraightPath5008d ago (Edited 5008d ago )

These games are good but were dissapointing

Gran Turismo 5
Final Fantasy 13
Halo 3 ODST
Bioshock 2
Far Cry 2

etc were some major dissapointments.

NeoTribe5008d ago

Agree but halo odst and ff13 wernt even good. Just dissapointing.

JellyJelly5008d ago

I actually enjoyed Dead Island quite a bit. Especially after the patch.

The campaign in Gears of War 2 was very disappointing, because it was hyped to be "emotional" and make the gamer cry and whatnot. Felt like it was written by someone with Aspergers or something. Same with Gears 3, but that game had really good MP which saved it.

And add all CODs after MW. Tried the demo for MW3. Holy lord, it's another scripted suckfest.

SilenceOfKnights5008d ago

i agree for brink i had a lot of potential but ran out of something.
Most likely time

Ben_Grimm5008d ago

I agree with Brink and Bioshock 2.

Especially Bioshock 2, such a let down especially when coming off part 1 which was exceptional.

If you really think about it, Grand Theft Auto IV was a huge let down.

SOD_Delta5008d ago

I think RE:ORC was a huge recent letdown.

-MD-5008d ago (Edited 5008d ago )

I still laugh when people call Dead Island a disappointment because they got themselves excited over a CGI launch trailer.

Of course the game wasn't going to look like that, you'd have to be half retarded to think it would. And for the record I had a blast in Dead Island playing with a buddy. Can't wait for the sequel.

pandehz5008d ago (Edited 5008d ago )

I did not think it would look like that graphically or anything.

All I expected was that kind of feel, with a good plot and a not so cheesy as fuck usual bullcrap zombie fest of a game, with terribly floaty controls.

I know many who feel the same way.

Dead Island is the most disappointing game.

strange19865008d ago

Anyone who wants me to trek across a resort just to retrieve her damn teddy bear during the zombie apocalypse doesn't deserve to live. Ugh.

WeskerChildReborned5008d ago

I laugh when people think we thought it was a letdown cause it didn't look like the CGI trailer, hello, the game was broken when it came out and multiplayer was basically unplayable for a while.

So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.

I mean 0, 1 and Code Veronica should be way before we get into 5 or 6.

Darkseeker115d ago

5 and 6 are so bad that even Capcom want to pretend they don't exist.

Levii_92115d ago

Dude Code Veronica is bad too but RE5 and 6 were mega successful and to me it makes much more sense for Capcom to do them instead. Nobody cares about Code Veronica except niche fixed camera era RE fans, i bet most modern RE fans probably don't know Code Veronica even exists. Based on all that i don't believe CV remake is coming but we will see i guess.

MehmetAlperTR115d ago (Edited 115d ago )

Actually RE5-6 was not Classic RE game.. They are not even Survival Horror game.. They are just an action game with coop and named by RE... And for me RE Code Veronica was masterpiece.. I remembered the first time i played it in Dreamcast.. It was absouletly excellent game. And specially for RE6.. I was quit from game after the camera shakes when Leon's kick to zombies.. There's a video about RE6 and they are telling the truth about that shitty game https://www.youtube.com/wat... here it is.. Enjoy it..

Neonridr115d ago

people are DYING for a Code Veronica Remake. Not sure who you are talking to, but the die-hard RE fans of the series are very familiar with every entry. That's what it means to be called a die-hard fan.

neutralgamer1992115d ago

Levii

I am sure If they were to remake CV that it 2ont have fixed camera angle. I hope whatever they do they take their time like RE2/4 remakes and not rushed with cut content like RE3 remake

Before they should do RE5 they should go back and remake earlier games. In a perfect scenario we would get CV and RE/Zero before RE5/6

Tapani115d ago

Code Veronica on Dreamcast was absolutely AWESOME.

It makes more sense for them to remake earlier games like Code Veronica. RE5 is a good game though - it's not THAT different from RE4.

RE5 just doesn't really need to remade in general. The co-op element makes it tricky - you'd probably add more moments where Chris is by himself enhance the horror but some would want co-op to stay.

thesoftware730115d ago

RE:5 Was and still is a great game, with hands down the best Merc mode, that I still play from time to time with my brother.

RE:6 blah, I agree, it was awful.

Redgrave115d ago

Other than Code Veronica, 6 is the one ai want to see remade the most only because pretty much everything has to be redone; can't streamline that hot mess.

DarXyde115d ago

6 was pretty bad. 5 just tried too hard in being an action-oriented RE4.

In some fairness to Capcom, 5 was the first Resident Evil on then-new hardware for them (X360 and PS3). And it was pretty damn hard to follow up RE4.

Imagine everyone's surprise when EA of all companies dropped Dead Space.

Alos88114d ago

The first half of 5 wouldn't be too hard to do in the more grounded style the remakes have gone for, but the second half gets pretty silly and uncomfortable at parts.
6 is a wash. You'd have to basically make a whole new game to salvage that one at this point.

__y2jb114d ago

6 is garbage. 5 is excellent.

Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.

gerbintosh115d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
